Twister heads for Oklahoma City as deadly tornadoes plague plains

John Warner surveys the damage near a friend's mobile home in the Steelman Estates Mobile Home Park, destroyed in Sunday's tornado, near Shawnee, Okla., on Monday.

A tornado is about to move into a populated area near Oklahoma City after a rash of tornadoes have already proven deadly in the Heartland and Midwest.

According to Foxnews.com, "At least two people were killed and 29 were injured in Oklahoma as a severe storm system generated several tornadoes Sunday in Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa, leveling neighborhoods and sending frightened residents scurrying for shelter as extreme conditions are expected to linger across the Midwest.

"The tornadoes, high winds and hail were part of a massive, northeastward-moving storm system that stretched from Texas to Minnesota. Victims and emergency responders might not get much of a reprieve, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center was forecasting similar weather for Monday over much of the same area.

"The National Weather Service was warning of the possibility of tornadoes and baseball-sized hail Monday, while residents of Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri were also warned to watch for bad weather Monday."

My prayers go out to all of those who are inevitably going to be heavily affected by this latest storm, and the ones that have already caused devastation.
